NatWealth raises helping hand to contribute to healthcare sector in 2015 through CSR

CSR being a vital activity in NatWealth’s agenda, year 2015 too was a successful year with many activities being held in supporting the under privileged community and the healthcare sector in Sri Lanka.

Natwealth is a responsible entity which manages the Mahapola Higher Education Scholarship Trust Fund, the largest scholarship fund in Sri Lanka. It goes beyond this community to serve the nation with a wider scope. Starting with the disabled soldiers who sacrificed their lives for Mother Lanka, Natwealth continued to support the needy students in the rural areas, people in tough circumstances who deserved a shelter and inhabitants in drought areas as well. 

The year 2015 was flagged to support initiatives into serving the healthcare sector which has much needed improvements in numerous aspects. These were a remarkable success for the company. Starting with the donations they made to ‘The Federation of Visually Handicapped in Sri Lanka’ and ‘Sri Lankadhara Society Ltd.’, they continued and donated equipment for the renovation of toilet facilities in a transit establishment CCC home for the kids suffering from cancer in Maharagama. 

With their drive to help and support, they donated medical equipment to the Lady Ridgeway Hospital which is the largest children’s hospital in Sri Lanka. By donating Ahmed Glaucoma Valves which controls the eye pressure and an ICARE Tonometer which is the first ICARE Tonometer in the country, they were able to stretch their commitment towards taking care of vision of the younger generation in our country.  

In these fulfilling events, the company made a generous contribution and the cash/kind support given by the staff members was exceptional.
